Orange crushed

Rhode Island just beat Syracuse 91-89 at the Carrier Dome. URI is now 3-0 vs. the Big East this season, beating South Florida, Providence and now the Orange. Syracuse has given up a total of 198 points in a pair of home losses to Atlantic-10 teams this season (107 in a recent loss to UMass).

Rhody's win may have vaulted the A-10 over the Big East in overall conference RPI, as well.
